Though we’ve been unofficially celebrating since idk, May? Today, June 20th, marks the first *official* day of summer and the start to a whole new slew of beach trips, 3-day weekends, short shorts, and island inspired acai bowls. To honor summer solstice, the fiery heat of our favorite season and our love for the months that follow, we’ve rounded up a few of the items we’ll be eating, drinking, doing, reading, wearing, and otherwise enjoying so that you can enjoy them too.

21 sexy & spirited summer essentials

1. Plenty of green juices and green smoothies because #health.

2. SPF! A high quality preferably organic and non-toxic sunscreen that you can wear everyday is a MUST. We like this kind by Badger. Hint: Add a few drops of coconut or argan oil to your sunscreen to help spread it out. This dilutes it a bit but without the oil it goes on kind of patchy.

3. A long-weekend getaway with your girl-gang to destination Korakia or your local bohemian hideaway.

21. Cute and comfortable sneakers like these because as wonderful as it would be to spend your entire summer laying beachside with a popsicle in one hand and your iPhone in the other, enjoying nature (phone-free), is one of the easiest ways to make your summer unforgettable. Grab your favorite people and get exploring.

What’s up this month? Aside from the obvious spring forward clock jump happening on the 11th, March is bookended by not one but TWO glossy full moons illuminating literally everything that’s been hiding...

New year, new you or same you, new year? I don’t know where I was going with this because my original plan was to introduce a fresh monthly series where we report our top 5-10 product picks of the month then you, our sweet, funny, kind, and profoundly brilliant reader tell us which products you’re currently loving in the comments...

You may remember that nearly one year ago we professed our immense disdain for cold weather and graced your screens with all the ways we could think of to beat the winter blues. I like to think that article was the most important piece of cold weather content ever displayed on the Internet, but my boyfriend simply calls it “useful.” Anyway, we’re back(!) one year later with Part II of that feature, this time with a very helpful and equally useful winter Rx spotlighting 1000+ words on how not to get sick and 9 weird, witchy, holistic ways to prevent those nasty winter colds...

Is it 2018 already? On one level I don’t believe it because where the f*%k did 2017 go? On another level though, everything, including my calendar, is currently screaming NEXT. So why not embrace it? In honor of the new year, fresh starts, and Monday nights extra glossy Supermoon in Cancer — could 2018 be any brighter? — we’re purging the old. Here is everything we’re letting go of in 2017...
